Joseph Altuzarra for Target

And just when you thought the H&M x Alexander Wang collab would send you to cardiac arrest, this happened! Okay Okay… for the non- fashion enthusiasts, Altuzarra may not ring enough of your bells but here’s why it should. Joseph Altuzarra is a luxury women’s clothing designer who launched his brand in 2008 in New York. Born in Paris to a Chinese- American mother and French father, Altuzarra attended Swathmore College (Big-up PA!!) and then went on to fulfill his passion for fashion by interning for the high end luxe brands, Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler. Below are pics from his collection for the Fall ’14 and PF ’14, respectively.

I’ll be honest, I knew nothing of Altuzarra until I saw Rihanna grace the Roc nation pre- grammy event below:

I don’t agree with all of Rih Rih’s looks but this one is hands down my top 5. She served effortless class, and style, intertwined in one look. The Altuzarra/Target collab will hit stores September 2014 so mark your calendars. You’ll be able to snag pieces between $18-$90. Don’t fret, I’ll be sure to remind you one week in advance.

-Be blessed!
